DNF
Summary: After ditching her slimeball rodeo boyfriend, the FMC takes up with three other cowboys while they travel the circuit.
Notes: CR/Rodeo/Western, RH/WC? Maybe ends with M/F?, wide open door, I believe it stands alone.
Stats: I just got bored. Iâm also really tired of FMCâs being allowed to commit domestic violence and it being treated as a joke/acceptable. Itâs also not clear if this is actually a WC/RH HEA or if it winds up M/F (I think it might) and I wasnât feeling like it. To her credit, I think Lorelei James does have a fairly good grasp of rodeo/western culture - Among many other examples, having an MMC who dips was very unusual for Romance, but also very on brand for the culture. The audiobook makes the Brazilian character seem like heâs speaking Spanish rather than Portuguese - not sure if thatâs a carry over from the book or not. There also seems to be some confusion about prostates. DNF at 40%

As is obvious by the title this book is mostly smut and not much of anything else. All the characters and events just felt like spliced together tropes and not real people I could connect to. The sex itself and all the sexy talk and scenes was giving âwritten by a manâ even if it actually wasnât. Not my cup of tea.

Racism, hints of homophobia earlier in the book, awkward dialogue. Plus the narrator just wasnât itÂ
torilovesheas's review against another edition
DNF of the century. What possessed Lorelei James to write a MMC that admits to being a homophobe and calls his fellow ménage dude a 6 letter word that rhymes with maggot. Hello??? Anybody?? Bueller??
I can forgive the not great plot and the just okay writing. I wonât forgive the literally unnecessary pejoratives and homophobia that served no purpose. LMAO BYE.
Would not read this author again if it was the only books available in the entire world.
